I was really hurt and devastated.
Went off to college to be a lawyer and something happened at college.
And I decided, no, I've always wanted to be an actress.
What happened, and maybe you'll appreciate this as actors because I don't get to talk to other actors a lot.
I had auditioned for high school plays my whole life and I got townsperson number three or chorus.
and i dreamed of being the lead and i never ever got there and so senior year audition for as you like it shakespeare's biggest character right wait here's a here's a fun photo i'm going to share with you before i get to that part of the story now they took a mold of my teeth my mother was a bit of a hoarder so she saved the mold it's 1968 i still have it by the way thank you amazing
I promise you, if you were casting for ugly girl, you would have cast her.
The other thing that I dealt with my whole life is I dealt with being overweight.
And being in our industry, I was crucified for that.
So the point is, one of the fun little stories, I'm in college, and I ended up auditioning for Shakespeare's As You Like It.
I expected to get Townsperson.
